Startup Tips Machine Learning Chip

SAN JOSE, Calif. – A new startup will emerge from stealth mode and into the super-heated market for machine learning next week. Wave Computing will describe a chip that can train neural networks ten times faster than Nvidia’s top GPUs while consuming the same power. Wave’s chip is one of a handful of announcements at next week’s Linley Processor Conference. Also at the event, Ceva will describe a new DSP core for computer vision, Adesto will detail a NOR chip that can handle both storage and execute code and ARM will announce a new member of its family of on-chip interconnects. The news comes at a time of growing specialization in microprocessor design, according to the event’s host, veteran chip analyst Linley Gwennap. “In the 1970’s and ‘80’s people created…
